Battlefield Acupuncture is having little gold studs put into your ears, and keeping them there for three days. I did put a post up a year or so ago about this but I really just wanted to make the point of how benefical this is, when you are really struggling, thats when your really notice it's potential.

It has been wonderful for my Fibro pain, headaches and certainly seems to relieve stress and has on a couple of occasions helped me get extra sleep.

It does hurt a little, but if you are really struggling, it is something I would really recommend.

If you "acupuncture" from a physiotherapist, it's probable that they only had 14 hours training, which is a lot less than a 3 year degree course & a minimum 400 observed clinical hours that a real acupuncturist must complete before qualifying at degree level. It's very scary how badly trained they are!

I had my acupuncture by a registered acupuncturist and you can certainly tell the difference. I am also qualified as an auricular acupuncturist. I really enjoy seeing the benefit people get from this therapy.
